What kind of help is needed?
While I managed to get most of wxPerl functional again, the build tools
for wxPerl were developed to deal with all sorts of compilers and systems
and wx versions, which make them utterly complex and hard to maintain.
wxPerl and the toolchain (mostly Alien::wxWidgets) is old and needs
modernizing to make it more future proof. Old code that is no longer
relevant for modern systems must be removed.
This would require Alien and XS (and XSpp) experience.
